Error: Cannot find module 'babel-eslint' Referenced from: mypath/testing-create/package.json

node v6.3.1
create-react-app v0.2

When opening App.js or index.js in Atom I get this error :

Error: Cannot find module 'babel-eslint' Referenced from: /Users/Home/github/testing-create/package.json

I ran an npm run eject and the babel-eslint folder is in my node_modules folder.

If any other infos are needed feel free to ask me to add them here.

EDIT : looks like I needed to instal babel-eslint globally on my computer, I'm not sure how we could warn new users (like me) about this since this tool is made for them.

This is mentioned in the generated project README.

Unfortunately we can't warn everyone about this because we can't guess if you are using editor plugins for linting or not.

Linting in terminal works fine without global installations.

Also, this problem should be fixed within a couple of months by ESLint itself so it's probably not too bad.

@gaearon Can't that be fixed by specifying the parser in config/eslint.js like so parser: require.resolve('babel-eslint'), ? This change worked fine for me using Atom.

[gaearon]

This will only fix parser but won’t fix the same issues with plugins.
The real fix for this will be eslint/eslint#3458.

Got it! Thanks for the clarification.
